Whats going on with my period?
I'm about to be 15, I started my period 5 years ago but, this year, my period started acting irregular. It would come once every two months. My current cycle is about 36 days and it hasn't started still. I really REALLY do want kids in the future and I'm worried that there's something wrong happening. Is this normal or do I need to see a gynecologist for this?
It's pretty normal at 15 to have irregular periods- late periods can be caused by stress, or a number of other things. Sometimes even physical activity (like if you started playing/training for a sport more intensely in then in the past- it could be causing the delay. Not knowing anything else about your medical history, I would say it's not anything to worry about and won't prevent you from having children in the future. If you go in for yearly check ups, you can mention it to your doctor just for peace of mind- but unless you have other odd symptoms (like your cramps have become way more intense or something), I wouldn't over think it.

Thank you so much :)
P.S.
I haven't gained or lost any weight, gotten sick, and my periods usually last 3-4 days whenever they happen. Is this normal...?
